At least now they do a decent job of predicting the storm severity and snowfall totals so that we know what to expect.

In the mid '70's when Mr. Roberts, our local(Champaign, IL) TV meteorologist, said "this is just a little Alberta clipper, we won't get more than an inch of snow from this" I could plan on missing a couple days of school with the ensuing blizzard :)

I'll trade you your snow for my volcano just gone active. If you want, I'll even throw in yesterday's 5.7 earthquake for free!

Serious, would you send snow-thoughts my way? The stupid warm weather on the heels of the thirty below zero meant we went from too cold to snow to all the snow melting, and I worry about how dry our summer will be, and full of wildfires, without snowpack.

@Grouch, that's where the extra comes in. You gotta' pre-replace what you're going to use. You don't want your supply to get depleted! What if the zombies strike right after the snow quits? You can't just pop out to the store to resupply! How good are zombies at navigating snow, anyway?
